I like to compare the appreciation performance of the LA and the Atlanta Market. From 2012 - 2018, the two markets have performed similarly to one another. 2016, Atlanta's appreciation was slightly better than LA, and in 2017, LA's appreciation was slightly better than Atlanta. In 2018, the performance is the same at 1.7% appreciation from Jan 2018 to March 2018.

Atlanta is now 4.9% above the previous peak and Los Angeles is now 2.3% above the previous peak.
